Word origin

The word 'pixelated' is derived from the word 'pixel', which is a combination of 'picture' and 'element'. The concept of pixels dates back to the early days of computer graphics, when images were displayed on screens using individual colored squares. As technology advanced, the term 'pixelated' became commonly used to describe images or videos with visible square blocks or low resolution.
